INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS
IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING IN SCHOOLS HORTICULTURIST’S VIEWS Greater attention should be given in the schools of New Zealand to the teaching and stressing of the value of production and general industrial progress throughout the country. This opinion was expressed this morning by Mr. F. •J. Nathan (Palmerston North), president of the New Zealand Institute of Horticulture, at the opening of the annual conference in Auckland this morning. “One is alarmed at the absence of educational facilities in the schools for these studies,” he said. “Less attention should be paid to the matriculation aim and the dictum that a foreign language must be included, and more attention paid to the primary products and all they mean to the Dominion.”
